From Derrick Woods of North Elmham, 2012 CH B8-4-49 Walter Deacon of Broom Green played regularly in the King Billy there. He lived in a cottage nearby and was a ganger on the railway line between Fakenham and Dereham. Mr Woods used to work with him. He liked a drink and often went to the pub but would never take his dulcimer with him. He would return home to get it when asked to play. The pub was packed when he played, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights and he was a very popular man in the area. He always played alone and played country dance tunes. He may also have played in the George and Dragon in North Elmham, by the church.' |
